Drafting Powers of Attorney in Harrisburg

Protect Your Wishes With a Power of Attorney in Central Pennsylvania

No matter how healthy you are today, a major health crisis or a serious
accident can leave you incapacitated tomorrow. Failing to create a power
of attorney often means someone who may not be familiar with your wishes
will make important medical and financial decisions for you.

At The Law Office of Jason R. Carpenter, we believe that establishing a
power of attorney is a critical component to
every family's estate plan. We create all types of power of attorney documents for those located
all throughout Central Pennsylvania.

Health Care Vs. Financial Power of Attorney

By establishing a power of attorney, you are naming a person you trust
to act as a fiduciary over your decisions. The person you name is referred
to as the agent and acts on your behalf in the eyes of the law.

The types of decisions the agent will have authority over depends on the
type of power of attorney you implement. The two primary kinds of power
of attorney documents are:

Health care power of attorney – This document allows you to name someone who will be responsible
for making medical decisions on your behalf.

Financial power of attorney – A financial power of attorney will conduct financial transactions
and decisions for you. Depending on your needs, you can give a financial
power of attorney broad control over your financial decisions or make
it more limited in nature.

Durable & Non-Durable Power of Attorney

You can also establish how long your power of attorney is in effect by
establishing either a non-durable or a durable power of attorney:

Non-durable – Non-durable powers of attorney are more limited in nature. It
will no longer be in effect if you become incapacitated.

Durable – A durable power of attorney remains in effect after you have become
incapacitated. A durable power of attorney allows the agent you name to
continue to make decisions on your behalf while you receive medical care.

Each of these powers of attorney may be appropriate for you and your family.
We will take the time to learn about your unique circumstances and identify
which type of power of attorney is right for you.
